Leptin: structure, function and biology.
Leptin is an adipocyte-derived hormone that acts as a major regulator for food intake and energy homeostasis. Leptin deficiency or resistance can result in profound obesity, diabetes, and infertility in humans. Since its discovery, our understanding of leptin's biological functions has expanded from anti-obesity to broad effects on reproduction, hematopoiesis, angiogenesis, blood pressure, bone...
متن کاملBorate binding to siderophores: structure and stability.
Well-known as specific iron chelating agents produced by bacteria, it is shown that some, but not all, siderophore classes have an unexpected binding affinity for boron. The relevant criterium is the availability of a vicinal dianionic oxygen containing binding group (i.e., citrate or catecholate). The resulting boron complexes have been characterized by ESI-MS, multinuclear NMR, and DFT calcul...
متن کاملStructure, function, and biology of SHIP proteins.
One of the “simple” curiosities of life, at least for a biological scientist, is how the growth and development of a complete organism from a single cell is controlled. Part of the answer includes growth factor receptors and their respective ligands, which transduce signals across cell membranes and into the nucleus for transcriptional readout. The molecular nature of these intracellular signal...
متن کاملPhotoactive molecules for applications in molecular imaging and cell biology.
Photoactive technology has proven successful for non-invasive regulation of biological activities and processes in living cells. With the light-directed generation of biomaterials or signals, mechanisms in cell biology can be investigated at the molecular level with spatial and temporal resolution. In this tutorial review, we aim to introduce the important applications of photoactive molecules ...
متن کاملCancer/Testis genes in relation to sperm biology and function
Cancer testis antigens (CTAs), a large family of tumor-associated and immunogenic antigens expressed in human tumors of various histological origins, are highly restricted to the testis and trophoblast. CTAs have been identified as potent targets for tumor-specific immunotherapeutic advances and have immensely lead to the development of different clinical trials of CTA-based vaccine therapy bec...
